One of my biggest pet peeves as a Birth Educator is hearing stories from dad and birth partners who rendered themselves "useless", "a spare part" as they "watched from the side lines" while loved ones agonise through labour. THIS IS SOOO NOT HOW BIRTH SHOULD BE. That's why Hypnobirthing is so important for couples. It allows you to prepare as a team, it guides the mother on techniques for breathing and relaxation and guides the birth partner on specific ways they can support

It's a perfect time to support each other and bond with your baby Something I share with all my clients is very practical, specific ways your Birth Partner can support you.

If I had a dirham for every time a pregnant mum says "I can't do Hypnobirthing I'm having a caesarean", I swear, I'd be a very rich girl! The biggest misunderstanding of hypnobirthing is that it is for women wanting a natural, pain-free, birth. No! No! No!!!
